Well, I've not done Cape York but I've done Canberra to the Gulf of Carpentaria using cloth. A total of about 4 weeks in Gulf Country. I had to hand wash most of the time when we're at the Gulf, though the larger towns had laundry mats.

I suggest using terry flats and covers, with microfleece liners AND flushable liners. Make sure that where ever you dispose of flushable liners, that their garbage/eco system can handle it. Most flushable liners are acceptable in those bio-toilets.

For what its worth, many of the towns up there would've not been able to handle 'sposie garbage from campers anyway. Many of the smaller towns/settlements had signs asking that we take our rubbish on to the next biggest town.
